GWM: Plug-in Hybrid Pants

The custom-engineered pants were powered using GWM’s Vehicle to Load (V2L) feature, which enables appliances, and in this case, apparel to draw electricity from the car’s hybrid battery system. For the first time, a car’s energy inspired a design that supports the performance of a human body in motion.

Integrated with Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology, the PHEP helped activate fatigued muscle groups during a run. Much like GWM’s Hi4 -T hybrid drivetrain, which intelligently delivers power when a vehicle needs it most, the pants delivered bursts of muscle-priming support when muscles begin to tire, keeping the wearer moving stronger, for longer.

The pants were first worn in trials by Cedric Dubler, Olympic Athlete
